The Twins hoard themIt always makes me giggle to see that they pack bubble gum and sunflower seeds in the truck like they can't get them in Ft Myers.
Same git box I saw him play from up close at Great Woods back in 1986.Just seeing that has me cranking Centerfield and running around the house.

Me too. A sign of Spring!I am excited. Thanks for making my day better!
Let's not get carried away. It's almost ten below zero at my house. Still, it was clever of those baseballs to head south and escape this weather.Me too. A sign of Spring!
February 15th.Let's not get carried away. It's almost ten below zero at my house. Still, it was clever of those baseballs to head south and escape this weather.
And I am looking forward to ST. Pitchers and catchers is when?
I like that the other John Fogerty plays music with his kids.Just seeing that has me cranking Centerfield and running around the house.

My wife must pack for them.It always makes me giggle to see that they pack bubble gum and sunflower seeds in the truck like they can't get them in Ft Myers.
John Henry is spending all his money on the Penguins and won’t spring for Amazon Prime for the Red SoxI don’t understand why they don’t just ship this stuff to florida when they buy it, but it’s a milestone.
I remember those old threads. Wasn't @BoSoxLady often the first to alert us? Thanks to her then, and to @mauf now!Man remember when this was a HUGE deal in the early 00s? I miss those days, but I also don’t.
300 pairs of pants is less/fewer than 200 batting gloves, right?A few days earlier than usual…

Care to share? I don’t know that info…I miss the old "2 games against a random NL team on the way to Opening Day" setup.
Especially because I know why they got rid of them
Because of interleague play, there is no intrigue in the Sox playing at the Braves, or the Phillies playing in Boston or similar. Every team plays every other team now, so who would go see the Sox at the Nats in a game that doesn't count when they will be there later in the season anyway?Care to share? I don’t know that info…
Oh… duh right! I thought perhaps it was something way more insidious. Someone sleeping with someone? Murder…. I’m bored apparentlyBecause of interleague play, there is no intrigue in the Sox playing at the Braves, or the Phillies playing in Boston or similar.

In addition, I thought the attraction of these games also extended to giving MLB stadiums a run-through before an opening day sellout. In some cases, the players also get a little taste of the non-Florida weather as they head north.Because of interleague play, there is no intrigue in the Sox playing at the Braves, or the Phillies playing in Boston or similar.

I made it bigger so that we oldsters could read it and it's in jpg. so easy to copy. It's nice that most of the games are when I'm awake.This seems like the appropriate thread for a Spring Training schedule:

Still that cold? My wife was back there visiting her sister a couple of weeks ago and y'all had below zero temps for her for a couple of days. Below 50 is our below zero!Let's not get carried away. It's almost ten below zero at my house. Still, it was clever of those baseballs to head south and escape this weather.

The packing list is fun. Just think of the potential savings if MLB went with metal bats. Ping!A few days earlier than usual…

So then, why would anyone go to a spring training game? Aren't they just gonna play each other once the season starts??Because of interleague play, there is no intrigue in the Sox playing at the Braves, or the Phillies playing in Boston or similar.

Might be part of the Apple TV deal with MLB. I seem to recall those games have goofy start times.Why’s the Philly game a 12pm start? Especially with the cross-FL commute the day before?

Peak Rice reaches Comm Ave. with an aluminum bat. Also, Bryce Florie is dead.The packing list is fun. Just think of the potential savings if MLB went with metal bats. Ping!
What's this?Didn’t realize Acura wanted out. What his beef?
In EyeBob's defense, he didn't bring it up first. He was responding to this from earlier in the thread...What's this?
Think you're in the wrong thread and posting about a rumor, which also has nothing to do with the Red Sox at that
But the overall point is this...unsubstantiated rumors from anonymous troll accounts on Twitter shouldn't be brought the board at all. Though apparently an exception is made for "rumor" threads that are already off the rails anyway. This thread isn't that (nor is the MLB Offseason thread).Geography produces intrigue I guess! FIVE times we get to see the Bravos
wondering how many of those weget to see Acuna and if he gets his trade wish. Fun player when he’s healthy at at his best.
And probably Matt Clement.Peak Rice reaches Comm Ave. with an aluminum bat. Also, Bryce Florie is dead.
Dude I was replying to a comment about ST games that Ale Xander posted above.What's this?

Fair point (FL sun in March is about as good as it gets) but if you factor in travel & lodging expenses to travel to FL it might actually be cheaper to catch the local pre-season game. Obviously depends on where you live.Practice games for tryout purposes in the florida sun at S.T. prices <> exhibition games in a big league stadium at big league prices
I love it.Just seeing that has me cranking Centerfield and running around the house.
